The Smoking Section

The Smoking Section is a creative studio and production company founded by filmmaker Cassius Michael Kim.

We create cinematic, emotionally resonant stories that bridge documentary truth and narrative craft: from award-winning feature documentaries to original short films and series.

Our work includes Man On The Run (Netflix), Stockton On My Mind (HBO), The Wonder List with Bill Weir (CNN) and original narrative films including Kali, Not Here, and La Guerra Verde.

On this channel:
• Original short films and documentaries
